'The boil has been lanced, but the sore remains'

By Greg Baum

"If Brendon Bolton had single failing, reputedly it was that he kept the players under too tight a rein. If it had brought success, it might have been tolerated. But it didn't, which meant the traces pinched tighter still."

Carlton have not approached any other coach

Mark LoGiudice is emphatic when he says the Blues have not approached any other coach.

"We have not approached or spoken to any other coach," he says.

"We need to make sure the next coach is someone who is going to continue to develop our list and adopt the club strategy."

Silvagni's role at Carlton

Liddle says he's happy with Stephen Silvagni's role at Carlton.

He says the Blues always looked to on-trade picks for established talent. He says the future first-round pick the Blues traded to Adelaide last year to get Liam Stocker would have gone to GWS to get Dylan Shiel anyway.

He adds that Stocker has performed well so far for Carlton.

'It's a sad day'

Cain Liddle says the club set out this year hoping to win more games, and be more competitive in games.

"I'm devastated because as I've stated before Brendon is someone I care about," Liddle said.

But he said the Blues need to look forward.

"It's a sad day in one respect but tomorrow we move forward.

"We have had a plan ... We've brought some elite young talent into our group ... The expectations are going to be high."

On what sealed Bolton's fate, he said the time was right to remove Bolton because of the "accumulation of losses and the way that has happened over the last four to six weeks."

Carlton not starting over, says LoGiudice

Mark LoGiudice has reiterated that the Blues aren't starting from scratch.

"We're not starting again. We're continuing along with the strategy ... we're continually reviewing all areas of the football club," he said.

He reiterated that the final call came down to wins on the board.

"At the end of the day it was about the win-loss ratio.

"The way we lost some of the games helped the decision, I suppose. We do have a game plan, we do have a strategy, but ultimately it was the win-loss that came to this decision."
